Yamaha Motif XS6
Motif XS - Workstation for the amateur and pro
Motif ES doubled the power of the Motif and now the mighty Motif XS6 comes along to do the same job again. The 128 voices of the XS's AWM2 Tone Generator are based on 2.670 Waveforms in the large 355 MB Wave-ROM which can be expanded by up to 1 GB of Sample-RAM for further samples. Each Voice can consist of up to eight Elements, which can be dynamically activated in the "Expanded Articulation" mode ("XA-Mode") to simulate different playing styles of acoustic instruments in a very realistic way. Use Performances to arrange up to four Voices in layers and splits over the keyboard.
The motif XS6 offers massive sampling, editing and recording capabilities. On-screen wave editing using the new screen is a doddle and the massive FX system capability of up to 8FX running at once is superb, really enhancing the sound of your arrangement.
It also has a very powerful arpeggio system and can almost be used like a standard keyboard with some of the best sounds on the market! It has massive computer control as well and is supplied with software for use with the computer. The transport controls all work with the supplied software from the instrument and work in harmony - for once!
As well as computer MIDI transfer the XS supports firewire connection for multi-track audio recording at CD quality. This really is the top of the line all in one system and highly recommended.
